Sorry Josh,
I understood that you were going to fish with a buddy a couple of weeks ago.I was just wondering if you had caught any...

Chuck, If your current setup is working OK for you I wouldn't change anything. However, as big and bulky as that looks if you ever get into any heavy vegetation or wooded areas you will probably have some problems with it hanging up and possibly breaking off.

I'm thinking the same thing brother...I'll be buying a big hose clamp.. Right now..I'm being real careful where my motor is and how far I let down the shaft.

didnt make it out. had some stuff come up with work. may be fishing thursday, but then again, depends on the weather and how tired i am.

hey chuck, your tranducer is a "transom mount" style mine is a lowrance "puck" type, on thing i noticed on goherds tranducer is that his TM skep is in front of the tansducer effectivley acting like a blocke for his mine sits in front of the skeg on my motorguides, and the are the first thing to grab stuff on mine, i guess that why i broke three of them before i decided to go the "tie wrap"

here is what mine looks like, i try to get a pick tomorrow

The PD-W "pod" transducer is designed for mounting on an electric trolling motor. It has two slots for a hose clamp (which must be purchased separately). Skimmer® transducers can also be mounted on a trolling motor using the TMB-S trolling motor bracket. It's curved to fit the contour of most electric trolling motors.

Appreciate it Keith...are you suggesting I spend more money?..
Brother..I was planing on spending my extra cash on..

The bait that swims.LOL

Keith..if I go to ebay and buy another transducer...I have to get one that fits a Hummingbird right ?These transducers are not interchangeable with other depth finders are they?

Chuck, Cabellas has a kit for 14.95 to mount your transducer on your motor.

Thanks partner,
I'll check it out..

Chuck, Humminbird will swap out the transducers for free. I'm not gonna tell you this again.[8D] Here's the site. Hope this helps. If I were you I would give them a call. http://www.humminbird.com/normal.asp?id=816

Thanks Chris...

It's a little too late Chris..In order to switch it out it says..the transducer I have must be new and has not been assembled.

It also states that the offer is for the 7 and 800 series..Mine is the 565 ....500 series.
Thanks for trying though.
